    NFL teams don't give a (*)(*)(*)(*) about race. They care about one thing only, winning. Your inane paranoia is unfounded and pathetically embarrassing to be quite honest.

    As stated when the season began: Denver vs. Seattle.

    I'd love to watch Peyton's monumental season finish with a bowl win, but young Russell Wilson is a joy to watch...so I don't know who I'll root for. I imagine Wilson will have plenty more opportunities, though.

    Are you really going to compare Eli and his brother?

    I'm not saying he is going to have a record-breaking year next year, but considering last year, after being out for a year ,he put up nearly 4700 hundred yards, had a completion percentage of 68.6, 37 TDs to 11 INTS and had a QB rating of 105.8, I think Peyton is fine for at least another year.

    You know what else Tebow never could have done? QB a team into the league championship game.
    But Russell Wilson did! The "racist" NFL rewards achievement and that's why Tim Tebow is undoubtedly sitting at home watching others play.

    His throwing skills are remarkably non existent.

    He's gimpy, they have his ankle shot up with cortisone.

    You think he can last another season of 16 games in the NFL, injury free?

    Good luck with that.

    The ankle injury didn't seem to slow him down. The only thing I think that would stop him from returning his any problems with his neck. If he gets an exam and everything is good and he can play, he'll be back next year, because his skills sure as hell haven't slowed down yet. That's the only thing that is going to stop him.

    The Patriots, with Brady at QB, have a record of W-138 and L-38 since 2003, an era in which salary caps were imposed to assure league parity.

    How many times has Belichick sold his soul to Beelzebub?

    Never said he wouldn't be back, what I said was this is his last hurrah.

    He'll linger around, but I don't see a dynasty at this point for the Broncos.

    Lots of young turks in the AFC/NFC...Cam Newton, Andrew Luck are on the rise...and hungry to prove they are the real deal.

    What more will Peyton Manning have to prove?

    The proverbial chip on the shoulder of Peyton as a choke artist will be erased from memories with a SB win in 2014.

    He has something to prove now and is willing to play through the pain to be considered among the greatest at QB....

    Brady is already there, and as I've said...lately the Patriots come up just short when it matters, I don't see that changing...

    Hey it's the NFL...anything can happen at this stage, these are just opinions.

    This is tough for me. I had pretty much written off the Packers season when Rodgers went down against the Bears so I was surprised when we got into the playoffs but wasn't surprised when we lost in the Wildcard round.

    On the NFC side: Russel Wilson went to Wisconsin, and Kap was born in Wisconsin, and I like to see Wisconsinites succeed. Yes, Russel Wilson is an honorary Sconnie in my book, he got us to the Rose Bowl. On the AFC side, I'd like to see Peyton get another ring.

    Objectively, I think the Niners and the Broncos have the best shots to win their games, and I think if one makes it in and the other doesn't, the team that makes it of those two will win the Super Bowl. If they both make it in, I have to give the edge to Denver. If it's Seattle versus New England, I think Seattle will win.

    Then tell me why Wes Welker, the best WR in the NFL over the past six years, wasn't even drafted......is NFL talent evaluation that bad......or just that racist?

    Best WR over the last 6 years? Seriously? You do realize there were black players that went undrafted and are pretty good to right? Warren Moon, Antonio Gates are just two examples.

    A) It's certainly not clear Welker has been the best WR in the league for the last six years (I would say hands down it's been Larry Fitzgerald) and (B) LOTS of very good players (many of them black) have gone undrafted. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/lists/...2912#photo-title=Antonio+Gates&photo=30956218

    Paranoids are indeed amusing in their twisting of reality around to fit their crazy world view.

    The Seahawks O for the past few games has been, well junk. Best D in the league, but no one is going to stop Manning from putting points on the board sooner or later the hawks O would have to keep up.. I still like the hawks in that match up, but its a coin toss.

    The Seahawks, while great at pass coverage, are decent at the run. The Pats wouldnt have to throw the ball, and then when the hawks load the box, Brady would likley make them pay for that. I would take the Pats in that match up.

    9ers can stop the run flat pretty much, much better front 7, and they have decent DB's. If facing the Bronco's, I dont think they could keep up in a shoot out, with manning, he will score on their D.

    9ers with the ablity to stop the run, and a decent secondary, would be a bad match up for the pats, Forcing Brady to throw the ball, as I think the run game would be futile, further more, even with a secondary not as good as the hawks, brady is still dealing with young recivers, dealing with physical db's. 9er pass rush would swiss cheese that patched together o line as well, I like the 9ers in that match up.

    Comparing Manning to Brady this year, is well, laughable. Brady isnt even in the top 10 qbr this year. Rings indicate a good team,not necessarily a good QB after all, Dan Mariano has no rings, yet Trent dilfer does, who would you want as a QB?

    The NFC West has simply been the best conference in football this year, so Ithink it's pretty easy to say that either the Seahawks or Niners are going to take the superbowl. I'll root for either one now, and hate on them when regular season rolls around and my cardinals get back into the mix.

    Yep, that's why they consistently draft only about 25 percent White players each year.......the AFC championship game will see four starting White WRs......two went undrafted and one a 7th rounder.......again, is the multi-million dollar NFL talent evaluation machine worthless or racist?

    Shoot - Pierre Garcon of the Redskins had a better season than Welker did. I'd take Fitzgerald, Megatron and Garcon over Welker any day of the week...

    Marshawn Lynch had a field day Saturday, and his line was blowing huge holes in the Saints' defense.

    When you can run the ball like that and play D you're not going to have to ask any QB to do much but take the snap and hand the ball off.

    It's fun to look at the gawdy numbers that Manning & Brady have put up, but the two best teams in the NFL (Seattle and SF) got where they are running the ball down the throats of opposing defenses. Junk offenses don't run the ball well...

    I don't think it's the NFL that's racist here....

    The NFL goes for talent. You could be from Mars and they would sign you if you could punch a hole in the defense for the Plutonian runningback.

    The majority of QBs are still white dudes. They go round one pick one and get paid bazillions of dollars, so you don't really have a leg to stand on.
